    They’d have to be there well over 60 whole seconds to have a slightly meaningful and somewhat noticeable impact on one’s commute.

      60 seconds is easily achieved for someone further down the line who has to wait another light cycle. Not paying attention to the green light has a rippling impact.

      Yeah I fucking love it when some asshole on his phone takes forever to go at the green and only three cars get through and to have to wait an entire light cycle which is at minimum 90 seconds.

      When the light turns green and you are unobstructed, you go. Simple as.

      Won’t someone think of all the extra money they could have made their boss in that whole entire minute of time!? 😔

      Edit: damn, I felt so certain that the /s was already implied, but okay…

        Won’t someone think of the demerits or whatever I’m gonna get on my name after another 30-seconds-late clock in because my shitty capitalist boss has to nickel and dime me but I still need to survive?

        Why are most lemmy leftists completely blind to the pragmatism of current real-world material conditions? You guys forget we still live in the late-stage capitalist hellscape?

          They somehow do. I reckon a fair few aren’t there with us trying to make our six months without another writeup.
